Kuala Lumpur

We had a fun trip to Malaysia. The coach bus we took was like flying first class. Plenty of room, dinner included, and TV screens in the seat in front of you to pick from movies and games to play.
Saturday, we spent the day seeing the highlights of the town. We went to the Petronas Twin Towers. We weren't able to go up the observation walk because they only give a limited number of tickets each day. We browsed the mall at the base of the towers, then headed to Central Market, a shopping complex of local vendors. We also visited their Times Square (basically just a big mall with an indoor amusement park) and the bird park. As we were walking to the Bird Park, a group of monkeys ran out in the street and we kind of followed them around for awhile. It was so cool to just see a bunch of monkeys running free in the city!
We both got massages at our hotel spa and went to dinner at a Brazilian steakhouse.
We hope to go back for another weekend to see more of the city. Apparently there is an elephant sanctuary and some caves tours that Adam wants to try out, but we didn't have time this weekend. The nice thing is that everything is much cheaper in KL than it is here in Singapore!

On the bus, ready to go!


Look at the monkeys!
